Chapter 7 How could it be him?
"Miss, are we... going in?" Bai Lan's face turned pale when she saw the words on the stone tablet.
As he spoke, Ah Si had already hidden the carriage, dressed neatly and stepped in.
Seeing Bai Lan's fear, Song Yu said, "Then wait for us at the entrance. You will be out in two hours at most."
"What? No!"
How could she allow her young lady to stay in the poisonous forest for two hours?
They had a deep bond as master and servant, willing to share the good and the bad together. "I... am not afraid. I will go in with you."
Song Yu raised his eyebrows, "This is full of poisonous gas, the kind that would kill you if you inhaled it."
Bai Lan glanced at Ah Si and said, "Ah Si has taken several puffs in there and is fine. This servant will definitely not die."
As Bai Lan spoke, she covered her mouth and nose with a cloth mask, took a few deep breaths of the non-toxic air, and walked into the poisonous forest with her head held high, determined to die.
Seeing this, Song Yu smiled and followed him into the poisonous forest.
Relying on his memories of being a ghost, Song Yu led the two of them straight to their destination.
The deeper you go into the poisonous forest, the harder it is to walk, as there are poisonous weeds everywhere.
It took more than half an hour to reach a cave entrance that was half a person's height.
"It's here. There's no poison gas inside, and there's an underground river."
After Song Yu finished speaking, he realized that he had said too much, and quickly turned his head to look at Bai Lan and Asi.
Sure enough, I saw a look of doubt in the eyes of the two.
"Miss, how do you know?" Bai Lan asked this question and then realized that it was a bit unbelievable that the young lady brought the two of them here.
To be exact, her young lady seemed to be a little different.
Song Yu held his forehead with his hand. "A white-bearded old man told me in a dream to come here to search for treasure. Do you believe it?"
Ah Si believed it without thinking, "Miss, Ah Si believes it. I will go in and check it out first."
Ah Si believed it, so Bai Lan had no reason not to believe it. "Did that old man with white beard tell me what treasure is hidden in the poisonous forest?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Ah Si's exclamation came from the cave, "Ah! Miss, don't come in yet. Wait until I clean up."
"Don't move!" Song Yu hurriedly stepped inside and saw Ah Si standing in front of a pile of bones.
"Miss, don't look at it, it will scare you."
"I'm not afraid. This is the cave owner. We need to bury him before we can take away the things in the cave."
Ah Si then used his hands and feet to dig a hole in the cave.
"Miss, there are so many books here!" Bai Lan happily ran to a row of stone tables and picked out the dusty books.
A note written by the Medical Saint came into view.
"Wow, it's a medical book!"
It is indeed a treasure to the lady.
At this moment, Song Yu's attention was focused on the paintings on the stone wall.
Seeing Song Yu didn't respond, Bai Lan looked up at the murals on the wall, her eyes widening. "What...what is that? How could the child be taken directly out of the belly? The stomach had such a big cut, but the person is not dead, and it can be sewn up?"
"This is a laparotomy. It's written on the wall. It should be a medical technique."
Bai Lan was shocked: "You can actually give birth by caesarean section?"
If there weren't so many medical books here, Bai Lan would find it hard to believe such incredible medical skills.
Song Yu nodded. "Not only seppuku, there are other murals on the wall that depict the use of knives to diagnose and treat illnesses."
Once she came here, she was shocked by the bold medical skills here.
"So, young lady, are you planning to learn this medical skill?"
Song Yu did not respond. She went to the last row of stone tables, picked up the "Holy Book of Gynecology" and read it carefully.
Three days ago, she slept with her mother and took the opportunity to check her pulse.
My mother was injured at the time and it was very difficult to recover, so it was impossible for her to get pregnant.
The reason she came here was that she remembered that she had seen this medical book here, and there might be a way to regulate her mother's health.
Seeing that Song Yu was reading seriously, Bai Lan did not disturb him. She tidied up the medical books on the stone table and prepared to take them away later.
When Song Yu raised his head with a relaxed look, Ah Si had already dug the hole.
"Miss, the pit is dug."
"Okay, let's bury the cave master together."
After the master and his two servants buried the cave owner, they discovered that there was a secret compartment where the cave owner had been lying.
"Asi, open it."
Asi opened the secret compartment and took out a large medicine box made of golden nanmu wood.
Song Yu opened his eyes wide in shock. This cave owner made a lot of money from his medical skills during his lifetime!
Song Yu kowtowed to the cave master before opening the medicine box.
There are not only gold and silver needles, but also a set of exquisitely shaped knives.
"Miss, such a small knife, smaller than a dagger, I wonder what it is used for?"
Song Yu picked up a knife and looked at it carefully. "This should be the knife used for seppuku in the mural."
Bai Lan and Asi looked up at the mural, and then at the props in Song Yu's hand.
"Miss, you're right. It's the kind of knife you see on the mural. Now that you have the knife, are you going to learn seppuku by yourself? I was just sorting through a pile of medical books. There are a few books made of unusual materials—very hard, with clear illustrations..."
Song Yu had known this for a long time; she discovered it when she was a ghost.
"Now that I have the knife, of course I have to give it a try. But after all, I have to cut open the stomach. If I'm not careful, I might not be able to save the person but kill him. When I first learned acupuncture..."
Ah Si's body tensed up instantly when he heard that.
Bai Lan understood immediately, glanced at Ah Si, and said with a smile, "Miss, do you mean to practice by cutting Ah Si's belly first?"
Ah Si:!!!!!!
Can acupuncture be the same as seppuku?!
But his life was saved by the young lady. It’s just a stomach incision. What’s so scary about it?
Ah Si patted his abdomen and said, "Miss, I'm ready. Can you cut it?"
Song Yu looked at him with a smile, "If I cut into your vitals, you'll be dead. This isn't as simple as acupuncture and finding the acupoint."
"Miss, you have your own way to save me from the gates of hell, so feel free to cut it."
Song Yu didn't expect that in both past and present lives, Ah Si had always believed her mindlessly.
In his previous life, he and Bai Lan both died at the hands of the Song family in order to protect her. In his new life, he must protect them well.
"You're kind-hearted, but this isn't just ordinary medical skills. You'll need to practice on dying people. No, on death row prisoners."
Bai Lan said, "The death row prisoner is in the prison. Are we going to break him out?"
Song Yu patted Bai Lan's head and said, "These death row prisoners are taken to the mass grave after being beheaded. They're still warm at that time, so they're perfect for practicing."
"Oh, I see."
After hearing this, Ah Si felt that he would have something to do in the future and would go to the mass grave often.
Song Yu closed the medicine box and took out the detoxification pills for the two of them to take. "Okay, we should leave here and take these books out."
There were too many books, so after the master and his two servants took the books out, Asi went in alone three times.
"Miss," Bai Lan panted as she sat on the horse, "There are so many books, and we didn't find any bookcases in the cave. Could it be that the cave owner must have carried them in several times by himself?"
"Maybe. This is not something we should be concerned about. Once Ah Si comes out, we have to leave quickly. This is not a place to stay for long."
Song Yu handed Bai Lan a piece of watermelon.
"Thank you, Miss."
Bai Lan felt the urge to go to the bathroom after only a few bites of the watermelon. She slurped down the watermelon in a few big mouthfuls and said, "Miss, I'll be back soon."
Before Song Yu could say anything, Bai Lan ran away.
"ah!"
After a breath or two, Bai Lan's scream was heard.
Song Yu hurriedly got off the carriage, quickly made a mark on the ground and chased after him.
Song Yu rushed over and saw Bai Lan was so frightened that she lost three of her seven souls and stood there without daring to move.
Song Yu's eyes quickly caught sight of the big bloody hand tightly gripping Bai Lan's right ankle.
Song Yu gave Bai Lan a soothing look, took out a silver needle from the belt around his waist and walked forward.
He went up and gave that hand an injection.
The bloody hand released Bai Lan's foot like a spring.
Bai Lan was freed and quickly ran behind Song Yu. After a moment, she protected Song Yu behind her.
Song Yu pulled her away and walked forward, turning the person on the ground over.
The man's face was covered in blood and mud, making it difficult to see his features. His chest rose and fell slightly, proving that he was still alive.
Song Yu looked at the finest clothes on him, as if he had seen them somewhere before, and subconsciously wanted to wipe his face with a handkerchief.
"Miss, let this servant come."
Bai Lan hurriedly squatted down to wipe his face.
Song Yu was shocked when he saw the man's face clearly.
How could it be him?
